Mutations allow organisms to expand their capabilities and abilities to use the resources in the environment. If mutation happens, new species could be discovered and this would increase biodiversity in the ecosystem

Step-by-step explanation:

Mutations raise the result of diversity indoors a population/species. Mutations are the primary source of genetic diversity. By combining new alleles into the population, the population grows more heterogeneous. This is the same principle with changes and populations of several species
